Abstract

The asymmetry signal of a transverse field muSR time histogram is primarily the Fourier transform of the local field distribution P(b) for samples with static local fields b. The maximum entropy technique is used to produce a muSR lineshape which automatically deconvolutes the pulse structure of the beam (for pulsed facilities) and the time window. In this paper, we describe how to combine several component kernels to construct the transformation matrix for converting the lineshape into a time signal. We discuss the implications for improving the muSR maximum entropy (ME) algorithm under certain circumstances, and how dipolar broadening might be deconvoluted safely. This transformation may also be used to create accurate theoretical time signals for conventional fitting. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
